Actor Preetika Rao shares her experience of working with Shaan on his music video

Actor Preetika Rao’s inclination towards music and singing is not a hidden fact. However, her fans were in for a surprise when she announced her collaboration with singer Shaan for his music video, Surilee. A fan and a follower of Shaan, Preetika is delighted to have had a chance to be associated with the singer. “The music video with Shaan is a milestone in my career. Shaan’s family would watch Beintehaa and they loved my show. He sang for my last show Love Ka Hai Intezaar and that’s where he recognised me. He then approached me through my producer Siddharth Malhotra and that’s how we collaborated,” says Preetika.

While shooting for the video, Preetika used to discuss music with Shaan in between breaks. She says, “I was curious to know about his musical background and he asked me about mine too. He kept telling me how important it is for a singer to practice regularly and explained vocal chords, intonation and voice gradation.”

With this experience, Preetika is now planning to bring out her own single soon. “I had released a single a year-and-a-half ago on YouTube.

In the coming weeks, my fans will be in for a treat as I am going to surprise them with my song. I have approached musician-singer Siddharth Basrur for the same.”
